You haven't given any information so that's impossible to answer with a number. But don't go to calculators anyway - use your own recent data.

If you lost weight at/around the predicted rate then set your goal to "maintain current weight".

If you were losing a roughly 1lb/week then 500 cals more a day will get you in the right area.

well if you know how much you lost per week on 1200 cals, you can calculate your maintenance from that...

how much are you losing a week? that would tell you how many you can add back.
ie 1/2lb - 250 cals extra a day you can eat
1lb - 500 cals extra
